As the former Deputy president of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu continues to cry fowl over the just concluded PDP Ward delegate election (which was adjudged as free, fair and credible by PDP National delegate and monitored by INEC), Hon. Pedro Nwankwo, the council chairman of Awgu local government area has admonished the longest-serving parliamentarian to understand that it’s “game over” and he should throw in the towel.
Pedro who was reacting to the allegations made by Ekweremadu through his Campaign DG, Ogbo Asogwa that he (Pedro) sponsored thugs to attack the supporters of the senator representing Enugu West wondered why only him (Ekweremadu) is complaining out of the 19 governorship aspirants in Enugu State.
In a chat with EverydayNews, the Chairman described the election of the 3-man Ad-Hoc delegates as a huge success adding that Ekweremadu is crying wolf because he lost woefully in the election.
Pedro said: “People should know when the game is up. After being in government for over 30 years, the man doesn’t realize that the people are tired of him. It is 90 minutes, and game Over.
“He has even refused to get the message which was clearly sent to him during the delegates election.
“A man who was local government Chairman in 1997, later became Chief of Staff, then Secretary to the State Government, SSG, before going to the Senate where he spent 20 years.
“The people used the ward 3-man delegates Congress to tell him that ‘enough is enough.’
“Ekweremadu is my brother and I urge him to bow out when the ovation is still high.
“How can he be the only one complaining of violence. Where are the other aspirants? How come he alone saw the violence when other aspirants are commending the exercise?
“I won’t join issues, our leader the Governor is a peaceful man and has urged us to maintain peace and we cannot to be lured or provoked into violence.
“The way he is going about this is even suspicious. This may be a ploy to unleash violence; he must be watched closely. For someone to be claiming an imaginary violence, he might be up to something.”
